Description
Bridle Farmhouse, also known as Ball Farmhouse, is an early 19th-century farmhouse located in Charlton Musgrove. The building is constructed of local stone rubble with a Welsh slate roof and brick end chimney stacks. It is two storeys high with attics, and has four bays. The farmhouse features 30-pane sash windows with exposed timber lintels in bays 1, 3, and 4. Dormers with 16-paned sashes are present in all bays. A projecting two-storey porch in a Flemish bond brick pattern, topped with a shallow Welsh slate roof, is located in bay 2, featuring a 19th-century door and a sash window above. The interior retains many original features, including plain boarded doors, an early 19th-century staircase, and a diagonally slatted door to a game hanging room. First floor partitions are planked with beaded edges. The farmhouse represents an unaltered vernacular building.
